Easy logistics! See both coasts! Day 1 has some hills on it, especially toward the end. Day 2 is flat flat flat.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 A draft <strong>cue sheet<\/strong> is posted above. Note that changes are possible; don&#8217;t get too wed to this. But it gives you a solid idea of what to plan for. The final cue sheet will be posted no later than 3\/31\/2027. Please do NOT use or rely on prior cue sheets (or GPS files that you may have or find on the internet) as you will likely be off route and have bad information.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Note that the ACP\/RUSA rule change in 2024 eliminating the <strong>closing times for intermediate controls<\/strong> makes it possible to run this as a 300\/300. So, instead of riding a 400\/200, you&#8217;re riding two 300K brevets (within 40 hours, of course) with the real possibility, even for our slower riders, of getting meaningful rest at the overnight control (which is the midpoint\/start\/finish). Of course, you&#8217;re free to leave out anytime you like for the second loop. The ride starts later (0500, rather than the typical 0400 start for a 600K) to reflect the easier logistics and likely earlier finish most riders will accomplish on both days.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 That said, <strong>for those planning on PBP<\/strong>, use caution in judging your preparation for that event based on your performance on this one. This route is significantly easier than the terrain you will see on PBP. And, in my opinion (from having completed PBP six times), you&#8217;d be making a serious mistake to ride only 300km on Day 1 of PBP. (I think you need to plan a 400km first day on PBP; stopping short of that to overnight risks a DNF for a lot of reasons.) While completion of this brevet will <strong>qualify<\/strong> you for PBP, it will not <strong>prepare<\/strong> you for it as well as a 600K in the 400\/200 format. Appreciate the difference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<strong>SAG<\/strong> on the route: Do not plan on it. Be prepared to support yourself throughout the duration of the ride. For certain, though, if you cannot complete the route for any reason, be prepared to arrange your own transportation back to the start\/finish. There will be no sagging riders back to the start\/finish.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;If you want to <strong>volunteer<\/strong> to support the riders riders, please <a href=\"http:\/\/floridarandonneurs.com\/wordpress\/?page_id=80\">contact me<\/a> and thank you for helping!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<strong>Dinner at the overnight?<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<strong>Beverages?<\/strong> Of course.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"70%\" \/>\n<h1>Registration<\/h1>\n<p>You MUST pre-register for this event!
